I
NOTICE:
I
Continuing
to
drive
with
worn-out
brake
pads
could
result
in
costly
brake
repair.
Some driving conditions or climates may cause a brake
squeal
when the
brakes are first applied or lightly applied. This does
not
mean
something is
wrong
with
your
brakes.
Your
rear drum brakes
don’t
have
wear
indicators,
but
if
you
ever hear a
rear brake rubbing noise,
have
the
rear
brake
linings
inspected.
Also,
the
rear brake drums should
be
removed
and
inspected
each time
the
tires are
removed for rotation or changing. When
you
have
the front brakes
replaced,
have the rear
brakes
inspected,
too.
Brake linings should always be
replaced
as
complete axle sets.
Brake
Pedal
Travel
See your dealer if
the
brake
pedal does
not
return to normal
height, or if
there
is
a rapid increase in
pedal
travel. This could
be a sign
of
brake
trouble.
Brake
Adjustment
Every time you
make a brake
stop,
your disc brakes adjust for wear.
If your brake pedal
goes
down
farther
than
normal,
your rear
drum
brakes
may
need adjustment. Adjust
them
by
backing
up
and
firmly
applying
the
brakes a few times.
Replacing
Brake
System
Parts
The braking
system
on
a modern
vehicle
is
complex. Its
many
parts have to
be
of
top quality and
work
well
together
if the vehicle is
to
have
really
good
braking.
Vehicles
we
design
and
test
have top-quality
GM
brake
parts
in
them, as your vehicle does
when it is
new.
When
you replace parts
of your
braking system

your
brake linings wear
